Maltese Puppy Niko

by Claudette
(Ontario Canada)



My puppy Niko is now 8 months and weigh 10.5 lbs. At 6 months old he already weighted 8.5 lb. When I bought him I was sure I would have a small little Maltese between 5 to 6 lbs... what a surprise today to see my little puppy is over 10 pounds. But hey, we love him to pieces, he is adorable and so sweet and smart and very cuddly... so now his weight does not matter to me anymore!!!

Hi Samantha, this is the product I use for my little Maltese Niko and it works beautifully for him....I use it for a whole week then I could be 2 weeks that I wont use it cause he is good...I only buy the 16 oz liquid EYE ENVY for tear stain and the shampoo 16oz and not the kit.....
Hope it will work for you, just need consistency every morning and patience....GOOD LUCK.

Hi Samantha, regarding the tear stain, here is something I have been using for the last year and for my little Niko it does help...the product is call EYE ENVY, it is from California, quite expensive but worth it for my little Maltese...when using you have to be consistant and patient, I using it every morning for a week then I could be 2 whole week without using it, he has good period and bad period but when I get back on using EYE ENVY for tear stains for a week, I notice the tears get lighter to gone...everybody ask me all the time how come he does not have the stain.??? you can also use the shampoo EYE ENVY which I use as well...
HOpe this help you.....good luck.
See this web link to EYE ENVY, i DO NOT BUY THE KIT, I only buy the 16 oz eye envy for tear stains....

starstarstarstarstar 		Love weight and tear stain
by: Claudette

Hi, long time since I wrote anything, my puppy is now 18 months old and at his maximum 13 pounds, he is a pleasure to have around, as for the tear stain, no need for anything cause he is doing really great with no stain...
Tomorrow June 7th, I will be taking NIko to the HILLTOP K-9 Agility class...he will enjoy doing all the running, he is very obedient and loves other dogs, I know he will love the activities, he is full of energy and that will do him good. Too bad we cannot add more photos on with our comments cause I would love to show you how my Niko has grown...
Thanks for the advice on the antibiotic for tear stain, I was told it is not good to let them on the pills too long, not sure if it is true...

Hi my Lily is over 10 lbs too. You are right, it does not matter at all. She did have tear stains. Our vet suggested antibiotics. The tear stains never came back. You may want to ask you vet about this.

by: Claudette

Hi again,
Well, I wish we could add more photos on this post...My little Niko is now 11 months and weighs 11.5 pounds, yes, a huge surprise but let me tell you he is worth the 11.5 pounds, he learns so much and so fast, our house would be so sad without his presence around...He is so lovable and friendly and loves everybody, we could not have asked for a better dog...he loves to be on my lap, watches television with me and loves to watch videos, sometimes we think he understand everything......ha.

Every morning and night Niko and I have our bonding moments which is while practicing his little tricks we do the brushing and eyes, ears and teeth clean, he never try to stop me...must say I have started with him when he was a tiny little puppy so now he is accustomed to it...Of course the fact that they love attention makes the grooming so much better.....
Thanks for listening and hope you enjoy your little Maltese as much as I enjoy mine....I would love to add photos so anyone knows how we can do that"???

by: Claudette

Thank you so much re: apple cider vinegar, I appreciate that you took the time to let us know Maltese Lovers about how to use it as well...I will definitely give it a try, the only way to find out if it will work for my little Niko.
Do enjoy your little puppy as I do love mine as well....they are so loving and adorable.
Have a good Fall Seasons.

starstarstarstarstar 		Tear stain
by: Alesa Cicilia

I bought my little Lexi at 8 weeks and she already had terrible tear stains (honestly brick red tear stains) and I was reading up on how to get rid of them I was browsing through different forums and I read to add 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar to the drinking water which I did and in less than a month the new hair was growing out with no tear stains and now her face is completely white no tear stains at all.
now I only add the vinegar once every week or when I do remember for maintenance so it don't recur but what the Braggs apple cider vinegar does is balance the PH level in the dog killing the bacteria and preventing the tear stains.
now Lexi is 5 months and 2 weeks and two days.

by: Claudette

Just a little update, my little Niko has not gain anymore weight since I changed his food from Chicken to a company ACANA, great food they have for dogs that have chicken allergies, I choosed the pork & buttersquash, no grain, no corn nor soya...it's been 4 weeks now and he stayed at his 10.5 lbs since the day I did the change...At 9 months in two days he is such a loving and cuddly puppy and friendly and fearless of any dogs, he tease them to play which worry me some cause we don't always know how the other dog will react....he loves attention, lets me brush him and cut his hair without any fuss...Wish I could add mores photos on this message. Anyway, take care and keep loving your sweet loving pet.

I have to say thank you for your kind words re: my little Niko...at the same time I wanted to tell the lady that was asking about Tear staining, I believe lots and maybe I should say most Maltese owner could relate to the problem of Tears staining...not so pleasant but if this could help you I found a wonderful product call EYE ENVY, I use it on my Niko every morning and night when doing his regular brushing, I call it doing "our bonding", haha...
Anyway, the product is expensive but very good and it works as you see Niko's eyes....gradually it gets lighter and lighter to a point where I could be a whole week without using it....then during his bath time I also use a product from SPA TROPICAL for stear stain, I apply it on the stain with a tiny tootbrush, I delicately apply it and leave on 4 minutes while I shampoo him....and it works wonders...Good luck, I have no doubt it will work, just patience is all you need with the product...

by: Ava

Your not so little Maltese is absolutely gorgeous!! Such a lovely face, perfect pure white colour and an excellent coat. You may have wanted him smaller but I think his size is ideal. We have a Maltese girl and she is just under 5lbs and I always worry about how fragile she is. Don't Maltese have just the best personalities??!!

What a BEAUTIFUL Maltese. Her body conformation is unbelievable. LOVE her short stocky look, adorable face and beautiful coat. LOVE the way you have her cut. Too cute. I have 4.5 mo. old Morkie, mostly white with tan ears and some tan spots. Coat is not too thick right but hoping that it will thicken when he matures.

What a PRECIOUS dog!!! I have a 4.5 mo. old Morkie parti-color. Mostly white with tan ears and some tan spots on his body. I LOVE the coat on your Niko. My Toby's hair is not too thick right now. I am so hoping that his coat turns out similar to your Niko. Mom is a Maltese and Dad is a Yorkie but I do not have any pics. He is wonderful regardless of his coat. I am having a problem with eye staining and am working on that. Have you encountered that problem?

Thanks for finding my little Niko a CUTIE....you're right he is a cutie and not only that he gives us so much love and lots of attentiond towards my husband and I...we are both retired and this little bundly of joy is adding so much to our every day occupation and we love it...He brings life and sunshine into our home and the people that come and visit.
We both bond with Niko by teaching him some tricks and we walk twice a day with him which in return helped me in loosing 15 pounds....ha...a real bonus...Don't be shy in getting yourself a little furry friend and love him lots..
